Oh yeah, by the way, our defense scored more points than our offense. Point, set, match.

No, there were other drives one can point to that disproves the Redskin defense 'stood strong' at the end of the game -- for instance, the 87 yard drive at the start of the fourth quarter which began at Oakland's 6 yard line. That drive led to the tying score. Lots of Warpathers conveniently remember only the goal line stand, but the Raiders didn't need a touchdown to win the game. All they needed was a field goal. Pin the blame on whoever you want, Ramseyfan. The fact is, when the Redskins were ahead, the defense allowed 13 points and crumbled -- just like they did last week against Tampa Bay.
You seem to associate my criticism of the defense with excuses for the offense. I've made no such excuses. I just haven't started in with the offense yet.
